Well somehow I can't post any of my photos on here, but I'll list some of the problems I'm having with my plants,
and would like to find solutions to them if possible
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Trimmed amazon sword, brown at cut and going down leaf, deteriorating as well
Algae is also growing on these leaves, algae is on all plants moderate to severe
Amazon leaves are curling, new leaves are small
Yellowing of leaves on an Anubias
Deteriorating leaves on Cryptocoryne
Small holes in Amazon Sword
Few leaves are falling off on Cryptocoryne
Twisted leaves on Cryptocoryne
Moderate to severe stunted growth in all plants
Deterioration / stunted growth of marimo moss balls
Bubbles coming up from substrate
-----------------------------------------------------------------
So if anyone has any good suggestions for me that would be fantastic, also I'm planning on getting another
Finnex Planted+ LED fixture. For the time being, here are my tank specs:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
55 gallons
Ammonia (0ppm) Nitrites (0ppm) Nitrates (10ppm) Hardness (240) alkalinity (150) PH (8.0)
Marineland C-530 clean filter every 3 months
water change once a month (35gal) – 15% once a week x4
Flourish root tabs added once every 3 months
Stress Zyme added every 3 months
Monthly add Melafix and Pimafix
Weekly add Kent Blackwater
Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat – potassium nitrate, phosphate, sulfate (1/2tsp) (1/8tsp) (1/8tsp)
Tues, Thurs, Sun – CSM+B (1/8tsp)
Food (slight pinch) flakes, pellets, freeze dried shrimp, frozen cube
On Friday add Garlic Xtreme, Selcon (vitamins)
Substrate, mixture of both South American Cichlid Sand and Eco-Complete
Substrate has never been shuffled or “fluffed” up since tank setup (2013)
Filter – 2 trays bio filtration (MarinePure balls) 2 trays sponges, 2 polishing pads
2 Koralia Nano 240 powerheads
Finnex FugeRay Planted+ Aquarium LED Light, and Current USA LED+
.
